The characteristic feature of the virus to infect the living organism makes it useful for genetic research.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Certain viruses are regularly utilized as vectors in genetic research since they can convey the new quality by infecting the cell. They are modified genetically to make them as vector in such a manner that the virus acts only as the vector and doesn’t cause any disease to the living cell. As vector virus injects their hereditary material with new gene into a chromosome in the human cell and starts to replicate.

Phases of meiosis on the lines provided, identify the stage of meiosis i or meiosis ii in which the event described occurs. 9. e
Natalka [10]
Meiosis I
Prophase I - homologous chromosomes form a tetrad, where they begin cross-over through the process of synapses.
Metaphase - homologous chromosomes then align along the metaphase plate.
Anaphase I - spindles then separate the homologous chromoses, pulling them to opposite poles of the cell
Telephase I - the cell creates a cleavage burrow inwhich the cell divides into two new cells with 46 chromosomes in the process of cytokinesis

Meiosis II
The same as mitosis
Prophase II - Nuclear envelope disintegrates, Sister chromatids migrate towards the metaphase plate.
Metaphase II - Sister chromatids align along the plate by their centromere.
Anaphase II- spindles pull the chromatin to opposites poles
Telephase II- cleavage burrow forms and cells seperate through cytokinesis

end result
4 haploid gametes are formed

In guinea pigs, smooth coat (S) is dominant over rough coat ( s ) and black coat (B) is dominant over white coat (b). In the cro
hoa [83]

Answer:

9 out of 16 offsprings

Explanation:

This question involves two genes in guinea pig; one coding for coat texture and the other for coat color. The alleles for smooth coat (S) and black coat (B) are dominant over rough coat (s) and white coat (b).

In this question, two heterozygous guinea pigs were crossed i.e. SsBb × SsBb. The gametes produced by each parent is as follows: SB, Sb, sB, sb. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the proportion of offsprings will be:

Smooth black coat (S_B_) = 9

Smooth white coat (S_bb) = 3

Rough black coat (ssB_) = 3

Rough white coat (ssbb) = 1

Hence, according to this question, 9 out of 16 offsprings will have a smooth black coat on average.
